Radio Shack and other outlets here in the States used to sell a block
cable converter that shifted cable channels 14-36 onto the UHF band so
any cable un-ready tv could easily receive them. 

They used to go for $40 but I'm sure you could find them for $25 nowdays.

Remote Control was not an option, however....
